VALR is in my opinion the best app for crypto in south africa. Better than Coinbase, Binance, and even Luno. Their user experience is seamless and helped me achieve what I wanted to, security is good and I look forward to keep on using their services!!

this app makes it impossoble for me to cash out. it says must be a future date. the issue doesn't get resolved when i try to contact them. this is costing thousands of rands so far. i would strongly recommend staying away from this app as it makes trading impossible and you will lose money.
